League ID#: 5410
League Name: TPWW
Custom League URL: http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/tpww

All comments about scoring, positions, etc welcome

Cyberfunk Apocalypse is going to run this

Can we have a snake draft this time?

This league moved away from a snake draft a while ago, and I have no interest in going back to one.

Also, I checked my stats, and it looks like it will be my 9th year in this league, and 10th playing FFB. Pretty cool.

Just dont spent 70 bucks for one guy and you'll be fine NBT.

Does anyone want to be co/assist commish?

What would that entail, besides just ok-ing trades?

Not much really. Just making sure that everything is ticking over. It just means that if I am out of contact for a month for example then there is someone who can deal with things.

I'll be happy to.

Done. It is also useful because I don't check into the forums very often so I might miss something.

Do feel free to recruit more players.

I am down..

Switch it to 12 teams, dickheads..

We had 16 last year, and as far as I know, and it gets changed based on amount of interest. I doubt we will have a 20 team league.

I'd say we're about as likely to change it to 12 just for you as you are to change your ellipsis to three dots. I like smaller leagues too, but I also prefer getting as many forum people in as possible (provide they actually end up playing instead of missing the draft and not playing with their shitty team).

<font color=goldenrod>I don't want anybody to miss the draft. Seriously, it's booked long enough in advance that there's no reason to miss it.

Auto-drafts fuck up auction leagues. Usually the auto-drafting team will get screwed in the long run but it's a lock that they'll overbid for a few stars that nobody else in the league gets a chance at having.</font>

Obv this is a very important part of yr life, soz for intruding..

Anyway anyone who actually wants to have a relaxed fantasy football experience, holler at me around training camp cause im sure I'll have room in one of my 10 leagues I play in..

All are welcome, except boomer..

lol

Yes nothing will change in anyones life in the next three monthes..

Jesus you guys are fuckng losers..

Says the guy who calls people dickheads for no reason! :)

I don't see what's wrong with expanding the league to 12 teams to accomodate 2 more players, one of whom would be Kris P. It's early June so I'm sure at least one more person will come around and want to join once the NFL is heavily in the news again.

I invited Kris P because I know he plays and won't disappear midseason like the 3 or 4 players in last year's league.

The league is currently set to 20 teams. It doesn't need to be expanded, Krisp is asking to shut down spots.

Oh shit, my bad. I looked at the league page and thought it had been limited to the 10 that had signed up and was closed to new people since a quarter of the league stopped playing last year. My fault.

<font color=goldenrod>You're signing up for a league months in advance, it shouldn't be that difficult to block off a few hours for that day.

It's one thing if you've got some sort of important personal matter that pops up. Shit happens. But every year there are like 2-3 people that are just like "FUUUUUUCK TOTALLY FORGOT".</font>

How do I join?!?!?! I don't see the button that says sign up.

ruiened

"currently"

It has been set to 20 teams since Kris P started complaining. Nothing has changed. :)

20 teams :wtf: :eek:

There's not even 20 good QBs.

Just make sure a passing touchdown is 6 points. Fuck this pussy Yahoo 4 point shit.

The chance of us making 20 teams is slim. I presume Moonax just put an open number there for keeping it open-ended.

And I completely disagree with changing passing TDs to 6. The top 5 point-scorers in the league were at QB last year (9 of the top 10 as well); I'm not for the rich getting richer.

The link is at the top in the first post. Not sure it could be any clearer.

The league is always set to allow the maximum number of people to participate.

It is not intended to be a narrow elitist league but one which is open to new players.

A larger league does make players more valuable. In a small league everyone can have a stud RB, a star WR and a star QB. There is very little skill or thought needed in constructing a roster. You can dip into the FA pool and pull out a decent replacement without having to think about it. A larger league means that there are more people drinking from the same pool. It means that you actually have to give some thought to constructing your roster.

Scoring is set the same as last year.

One requirement of the league is a developed set of social skills in which you can articulate your thoughts rationally, intelligently and coherently.

Oh shit I totally thought we had passing TDs as 4 instead of 6. Maybe we had it set that way in the past? Can't remember. No wonder QBs dominated last year though. Just from a minor check of stats, Drew Brees would still have had the second most points in the league instead of first with 4 points per TD instead of 6 (Since AP is the only non-QB in the top 10). I might argue that we change it to 4, but I don't think it would get a lot of traction, so its not a big deal. Guess it just makes playing with a mid-tier QB more viable.

It's been 6 points across the board as long as I can recall.

I'd argue that with IDP in particular, investing all your money in a stud QB is not necessarily the way to go.

Several times last year it was my D, or a solid performance from WR3 or my flex player that saved me.

Every player is a hit away from being out for the season, so personally I'd always try to avoid doing my nuts on one player. This however, is just my personal point of view.

Defense is a big deal in our league mostly because some people just don't understand how IDP works and the difference can be like 30+ points between those who plan for it and those who don't. But those QB numbers are crazier than I expected them to be.

:heart: IDP

How does IDP effect the "percent started" stat? Does it take into effect the leagues that don't even have IDP at all?

I don't know where to go after I click the link. I do not see a join now button. Yes I am missing something obvious but I am missing it.

You should have a join link from there.

don't hold that dummy's hand

I think that reflects the inflated passing stats of the current era. Short of really gerrymandering the cats I am not sure how to balance it out.

Plus almost everyone has a game (usually an important game) where their QB throws 3 ints gets sack 5 times and fumbles twice giving them -5 for the game.
